Named for its metric horsepower (PS) output, the 373kW Edition 507 will build on the existing 358kW C 63 Performance Package spec, with a few tricks thrown in from the now sold-out Black Series flagship .

Set to be available in Sedan, Coupe, and Estate bodystyles, the Edition 507 promises performance gains over existing models, along with unique design elements inside and out.

The seven-speed AMG SpeedShift multi-clutch transmission used by other C 63 variants remains the sole transmission choice for the Edition 507, but 0-100km/h acceleration is down to 4.2 seconds for Sedan and Coupe models.

This represents a 0.2 second improvement over the base C 63 Sedan and Coupe, and 0.1 second ahead of the same bodystyles with the Performance Package.

As with other C 63 models, the Estate version of the Edition 507 trails the Sedan and Coupe’s acceleration by just 0.1 second.

The Edition 507 gets it#39;s top speed uprated to 280km/h before the limiter chimes in, compared with the basic C 63’s 250km/h threshold.

It will also feature new forged-aluminium Y-spoke 19 inch wheels, with 235/35R19 tyres up front and 255/30R19 in the rear. Wheel finishes will include gloss titanium or matte black with a machined lip.

Specific matte graphite decals are also applied along the door sills, and joined by gloss black detailing to the front grille, DRL housings, wing mirror caps and the lip spoiler of Sedan and Coupe models.

For those bold enough, Mercedes’ ‘designo magno platinum’ matte grey paint finish is also available as a specific Edition 507 option.

On the inside, three trim choices are available, including black leather, black leather/alcantara, and porcelain leather/alcantara combinations.

After the C 63 AMG Edition 507 makes official debut at Geneva in March, European sales are set to begin in June.
